2020 Democratic Candidates Tracker

I'd take a lot of those statements with a grain of salt. If Warren does really well in Iowa, do you think Bernie drops out with NH coming up? NH will be the real Bernie v. Elizabeth test - they're both from neighboring states, but Bernie's got a solid base their historically.

I can see one or the other supporting the remaining one when whittling down time comes but what I was suggesting was like the move in Alaska last GE when one of the candidates dropped out so the Dem vote wasn't split.

I really don't take them with a grain of salt. I really believe one will drop out to support the other, with the latest date being "early in the primaries".

I like them both immensely, though, and I know they share economics advisers, and I really think they both care more about the policies getting through than they do about being "the one" themselves. JMO. Hope I'm right, though!
 
... snipped for relevalnce ...

In the interest of restoring balance, the Lamestream Media must finally tell us about Trump's daily puppy-burnings and him getting pegged by Melania whilst wearing a diaper!

I would not be a bit surprised if Putin has such things on tape when Trump visited Russia and stayed in that FSB/KGB controlled hotel.
 
Some of my thoughts on patriotism, copied from elsewhere:

Problems come from appearances. Trump appears patriotic to his fans. it is difficult to understand that most of them do not see it as a con. He represents them, whether he is sincere or not!

Bush was not as good as Trump at appearances, though Trump hugging a flag and Bush landing on an aircraft carrier amounts to the same. Just showmanship.

Trump's fight against "foreigners" and "China" or "Mexico" is seen as patriotic. This is a problem. We need to deal with immigrants in some manner, and the Democrats better get a clear message on that soon. Biden could use to his advantage the fact that Obama deported 2.5 million illegals.

Trump plans big Fourth of July celebrations in 2019 and 2020. presidents normally do not participate. I hope the people will come to see that it is now ALL ABOUT TRUMP. He is stealing our national holiday!
 
Hmm? What I quoted of Vox's opinion is that it's the most detailed so far, in short. My opinion was that the content itself seems solid. The two are not the same thing.



Minor addition to make that a non-trivial assertion. The "current three tied for second place" are largely pulling from the same group.

But that doesn't mean those voters can't coalesce behind one of the three before the primary. If Biden wins because the competition is split, that doesn't bode well. We wouldn't have the best candidate to be the next POTUS.

All these people running surely believe Trump is low-hanging fruit to run against. That worries me as well.
 
Biden is not a shoe-in. Some people sound like they are fine with the media picking the candidate.

Plenty of the left media in full attack mode on Creepy Joe - HuffPo and TruthDig, to name a couple.

I think he's dead in the water at this stage as well. Despite massive coverage, money & effort, he hasn't improved his numbers since he wasn't officially in the race.

I'd be pushing Warren as hard as possible if I were on the ground there.

I like her more and more as time goes on and I think she has the class to rise above Trump and his filth. Buttgieg as Veep.

A bitch and a faggot - the evangelical right will all have apoplexy if that happened.
 
I agree there is some negative news coverage of Biden. But there is not enough news coverage of the other candidates. You see Trump vs Biden.

And my complaint includes a lot of repeating about Biden being ahead in the polls.

If I were a US voter, I'd vote for Trump over Biden, and I'm a fair bit left of Trotsky.

Socially and economically, I don't see Biden as much of an improvement, and the sheer weight of LULZ that exist with Trump as POTUS outweighs voting for a champagne socialist who indulges in exactly the same type of idiot language as Trump anyway.

I think the negative language against Biden will go away once he becomes the presumptive nominee. In a Trump-Biden race, the negatives can be easily dealt with by large negative ad buys on social media against Trump. Being too huggy can be silence by being president pussy grabber ads.

While Trump's out there getting press attention for being crazy, the rest of them are quietly gutting federal lands including threatening National Parks, no doubt Trump has cronies profiting from that. They have ruined the lives of Hispanic immigrants who were not harming anyone and could have been dealt with humanely. They've rolled back any and every pollution regulation that any corporation wanted regardless of what they were discharging into the water and air. Trump is also raiding funds for any number of programs. And he's literally flooding the federal courts with people on a list from the Federalist Society; things won't need to be decided by SCOTUS, all the lower courts will rule in favor of corporations and Evangelical religious beliefs all the way up the line. It'll be like a swarm of little Scalias all over the court system. And the Democrats can't stop McConnell filling every open seat they filibustered during Obama's administration. And they are eroding LGBTQ rights. Then there is the risk of an even more biased SCOTUS.

Then there is the attempt to skew the Census so the GOP can gerrymander even more districts and make the Democrats votes count for an even smaller fraction of what GOP votes are worth.

I don't think that's the whole list, that's just off the top of my head.

So even if you are not in the US and this doesn't apply to you, hopefully anyone reading it that thinks Trump is a harmless dufus will think again!

Meh. I've been favoring Warren/Buttigieg the most for a while... and for reasons that have nothing to do with gender or sexuality. Those parts are nice perks, though!

Also, looks like Warren's actually at the top of the pack when it comes to how favorably Democrats look at a candidate -

For instance, they asked Democratic primary intended voters to list all the candidates they were considering supporting / would be disappointed to see win. Here are those numbers: (parentheses shows considering-disappointed margin)

Warren: 45/9 (+36)

Biden: 50/19 (+31)
Harris: 39/8 (+31)
Buttigieg: 34/10 (+24)
Sanders: 38/21 (+17)
O'Rourke: 24/11 (+13)

Booker: 23/11 (+12)

Yeah... When MSM coverage of Biden has been roughly equal to or greater than every other Democratic Party candidate combined for weeks on end, that's a problem in and of itself.

Well, then, I'm glad that a person like you, who apparently think it's funny to see multiple mass murders against people based on skin color, ethnicity, or religion, isn't a US voter.

Trump has committed mass murder?

I must have missed the news that day.

Nice Goal Post move, bro.

What utter tosh - I didn't have any goalposts to move.

Ginger listed some bad things he's done. None of them are bad enough to sway voters and none of them outweigh the LULZ he's giving the rest of the world.

Just look what he's done for cetaceans. The man's even forging cross-species links.
 
First, so what? It still makes Trump the worst choice no matter how 'same old crap' Biden is.

Second, just like I said, while the distractor-in-chief is distracting all that **** is going on. The press is not doing its job. It's too happy with Trump TV.

...Ginger listed some bad things he's done. None of them are bad enough to sway voters and none of them outweigh the LULZ he's giving the rest of the world....
In response to YOU saying Biden was worse than Trump. It wasn't about who will win the election.

Whole subject change.

This too. I knew I was leaving something important out.
